The problem with giving any air-time at all to woo-woo experiences in the midst of Truth-talk, is that it's all too easy for folks to them conflate mystical, euphoric mind states with being awake/waking up/SR.
While it is true that waking up DOES impact experience, and for some, the relief of an SVP that was in play for an entire life-time, suddenly going AWOL, is a relief beyond no other...and it's in that relief that a very euphoric mind-state can arise.
However, an ongoing euphoric mind-state is NOT indicative of SR...is not to be mistaken for the shift in locus of seeing that is SR.
When one stops eating...stops sleeping....starts yelling and behaving what others are going to regard as 'strange,' it is time to look into the possibility that something serious is going on.
In light of the reports of increased cancers and blood clots following the Covid vax, anyone experiencing such at this time, in my estimation, would do well to request a brain scan if they're experiencing this kind of thing.
Fwiw...I am not at all trying to poke or be disrespectful here....am genuinely concerned. Please see your Dr. Farmer.

Symptoms - Bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is characterised by extreme mood swings. These can range from extreme highs (mania) to extreme lows (depression).
Episodes of mania and depression often last for several weeks or months.
Depression
During a period of depression, your symptoms may include:
feeling sad, hopeless or irritable most of the time
lacking energy
difficulty concentrating and remembering things
loss of interest in everyday activities
feelings of emptiness or worthlessness
feelings of guilt and despair
feeling pessimistic about everything
self-doubt
being delusional, having hallucinations and disturbed or illogical thinking
lack of appetite
difficulty sleeping
waking up early
suicidal thoughts
Mania
The manic phase of bipolar disorder may include:
feeling very happy, elated or overjoyed
talking very quickly
feeling full of energy
feeling self-important
feeling full of great new ideas and having important plans
being easily distracted
being easily irritated or agitated
being delusional, having hallucinations and disturbed or illogical thinking
not feeling like sleeping
not eating
doing things that often have disastrous consequences – such as spending large sums of money on expensive and sometimes unaffordable items
making decisions or saying things that are out of character and that others see as being risky or harmful
Patterns of depression and mania
If you have bipolar disorder, you may have episodes of depression more regularly than episodes of mania, or vice versa.
Between episodes of depression and mania, you may sometimes have periods where you have a "normal" mood.
The patterns are not always the same and some people may experience:
rapid cycling – where a person with bipolar disorder repeatedly swings from a high to a low phase quickly without having a "normal" period in between
mixed state – where a person with bipolar disorder experiences symptoms of depression and mania together; for example, overactivity with a depressed mood
If your mood swings last a long time but are not severe enough to be classed as bipolar disorder, you may be diagnosed with a mild form of bipolar disorder called cyclothymia.
